Chapter 1,280: Gratitudes and Grievances Are Intertwined, and Justice Is Still Chaotic!

"Sir, King Zhou went to see the queen." After Xiao Xuanzi entered the door, he reported to Chu Liuchen who was standing in front of the window.

Chu Liuchen was dressed in black clothes with wide lapels. The wind blowing through the window was chilly. The room with only a trace of light in the night also seemed cold and deep. His whole body seemed to be only black and white. Generally, there is a cold and eerie atmosphere through the door.

"Keep staring at him!" Chu Liuchen said without looking back.

"Then...Miss Shao?" Xiao Xuanzi asked. Their people had been keeping an eye on Miss Shao, and they also discovered that Miss Shao was secretly in contact with people outside the mansion. They traced that person to Prince Cheng.

"If she leaves the house, find a way to send her to Chu Liuyue's house!" Chu Liuchen curled up the corners of his thin lips and said lightly.

"Will she leave King Zhou?" Xiao Xuanzi smacked her lips and asked. Miss Shao is now very favored by King Zhou. Compared with Princess Yuan'an, she is the one who is more concerned about King Zhou. At this time Will she leave?

"She will leave, just keep an eye on her. If she wants to go back to find Prince Cheng, she should inform Chu Liuyue's people first." Chu Liuchen said nonchalantly, turned around and walked out, drawing a line with his wide sleeves The traces of darkness caused the orange color in the light to sway slightly, but it was still dark at the bottom.

"Yes, I understand!" Xiao Xuanzi said as he followed.

The two people went downstairs and did not go to the backyard. They went directly to the side door to the harem. The side door opened. Chu Liuchen stepped out and entered the palace. Two royal guards were hiding in the darkness outside. Then, when he saw him coming out from his hiding place, he saluted respectfully to Chu Liuchen, and then silently stepped aside, as if no one had ever appeared here before.

Chu Liuchen turned onto a path and headed towards the emperor's study room, and Xiao Xuanzi followed closely. In the night, the clothes of both of them were dark and not obvious.

There is a shortcut path leading to the emperor's study. This path is not conspicuous during the day, but it is locked by a door halfway. No one will come. At night, many guards are invisible along the way. They are all the emperor's most trusted friends, and no one can reach this door.

As Chu Liuchen came all the way, the secret guards appeared one after another. After bowing to Chu Liuchen, they returned to their positions. When they arrived in front of the door, a guard came out of the hiding place and opened the door. Chu Liuchen took Xiao Xuanzi into the door. After closing and locking it again, it was still a dark path, and it was still an impassable path.

Passing through this door is a small courtyard, and then walking around the front door of the courtyard is a small path. From here, it is very close to the imperial study room.

The emperor was still in the imperial study room, turning on the lamp. When he heard the sounds outside, he raised his head and looked at Chu Liuchen. A smile appeared on his pale face, and he coughed twice. His eyes turned to the screen behind him involuntarily, and then he couldn't help but look at Chu Liuchen. He turned back animatedly.

"I've met my uncle!" Chu Liuchen stepped forward and saluted.

"Sit down first!" The emperor coughed twice more and said gently. Under the light, he looked very weak. He was leaning on the chair rail and his whole body was not energetic.

"What did you find?" After Chu Liuchen sat down, the emperor coughed twice more and asked.

"I didn't find anything, but I found something was wrong... The second brother went to the Queen's palace today." Chu Liuchen said bluntly.

The emperor's face darkened, and he was gloomy. After a while, he said: "Continue to stare at Chu Liuzhou."

"Yes!" Chu

Liu Chen agreed calmly.

The emperor pointed to the two folds of folding books at hand: "You can take these over in a moment and approve them first!"

"Uncle Emperor, you can actually ask your elder brother to approve it." Chu Liuchen raised his eyes and looked at the two stacks of high folds and refused.

"Chen'er... Lan Fei?" The emperor frowned and looked at Chu Liuchen's face carefully, feeling guilty in his eyes.

"Uncle Emperor, I don't know anything about Concubine Lan!" Chu Liuchen stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor, "Uncle Emperor is not in good health, so you should take care of yourself and don't think or worry too much!"

He was about to leave, but he had no intention of flattering him at all.

The emperor sighed. At this time, if it were Chu Liuyue or even Chu Liuzhou and Chu Liuxin, they would all know how to flatter him. How could he look like this? However, he remembered that he had given up on himself in the past. Behavior, knowing that he is the one who cares least about me, I feel soft in my heart. This child is actually the one who is most like him!

It is also the one he feels most at ease with. Those sons may harm him for the sake of the throne, but this child is the least likely to have such thoughts. He feels guilty about many things, but there is nothing he can do about it. The one he feels most sorry for is this child.

Seeing Xiao Xuanzi hugging Zhezi and leaving behind Chu Liuchen, the emperor sighed heavily again.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and a woman appeared behind the screen, her jade-white face stained with tears. It was Concubine Lan. Looking at Chu Liuchen's walking back, she called out in a low voice: "Chen'er!"

The next step was to cry quietly.

The emperor stood up, walked to Concubine Lan, reached out and took her hand, pulled her to sit on the large dragon chair on one side, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, Chen'er..."

"Your Majesty, does he hate me...does he hate me very much..." Lan Concubine cried, with sad eyes, "For so many years, this child has never been close to me since he became sensible. No matter what I give him, he will never get close to me." Don't...he...can he really not recognize me?"

"Don't be sad...he will figure it out slowly." The emperor comforted her.

"Can he understand that he would give up on himself so much in the first place? I know it's all me...it's all my fault...I'm a sinner..." Lan Fei's tears fell in strings. If it weren't for Chu Liuchen , not for Chu Liuchen, she actually had nothing to hold on to, "At the beginning... I said at the beginning that if something happened to Chen'er, I would definitely follow him..."

"Why are you talking about this? Chen'er has always been fine, hasn't he? You also said that you once gave up on yourself, but he is fine now, and he is also married to a princess. He is living a good life. Even if he knows something, he is not happy. What will happen? He thought that way before, but he doesn’t think so now.”

The emperor looked at Concubine Lan with a sad look on his face, held her hand and comforted her and said: "It was my fault at the beginning. I was the one who felt sorry for you and my son. I caused you and your son to get to this point. I will make up for this mistake. You Don’t worry, Chen’er will be fine, and neither will you.”

Even though as the emperor, he could have six houses of pampering, but in fact, the woman he loved the most was the only one in front of him. By some strange combination of circumstances, the two of them missed each other. Although they came together in the end, they could only let her disappear. The last name is withheld.

"Chen'er must have known it a long time ago." Concubine Lan raised her teary eyes and looked at the emperor, but her eyes were wandering and empty. It didn't seem like she was looking at the emperor, but like she was looking at another person through the emperor.

"He is so smart... he should have guessed early.

Arrived. "The emperor sighed. He really couldn't do anything about it. He was afraid that something would happen to Chu Liuchen. This was the child he wanted wholeheartedly. He was even more afraid that something would happen to Concubine Lan, who had been carefully guarding her in the depths of the harem for so many years. Even the queen has no right to see her, let alone ask her to see her.

The two of them had a lot of suspicions about whether Chu Liuchen knew the truth, and they were too embarrassed to tell him directly. They just guarded him carefully, for fear that he would really lose his life if he couldn't think about it.

After holding it carefully in the palm of my hand for so many years, I just want him to be well. Lan Fei will always find ways to please Chu Liuchen, but except for being really ignorant when he was young, when he is a little older, he has always been fond of Lan Fei. She was so disgusted that she even threw away all the things she sent her.

"He hates me... He must hate me!" After hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Lan burst into tears uncontrollably.

"It's okay, he has a princess now, and he is very good to her little princess." The emperor said softly, turning his head and coughing a few more times. His health was deteriorating. He had been taking medicine recently, but he still couldn't. It's not getting better. The imperial doctor said something was wrong before, but it never got better.

The scent of sandalwood in the room was very soothing, but the emperor still felt uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Concubine Lan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looked at the emperor's face and said anxiously, "Let the imperial doctor come and take a look."

"It's okay. He looks like this. Maybe he is really old!" The emperor said nonchalantly. He reached out to hold Concubine Lan's hand and said after a moment: "If I give the throne to Chen'er, will you? Do you want to accompany me to look around? There is no one else, just you and me!"

"Your Majesty...you..." The meaning behind these words made Concubine Lan raise her tearful eyes in surprise.

"Yes, that's what you think. I'm tired and old. Chen'er has grown up and is healthy. I called the imperial doctor before and asked. Chen'er is fine. He just looks weak. In fact, he is stronger than the average person. Although he was weak back then, he has been practicing martial arts. This can be regarded as his hobby!"

The emperor said.

Lan Fei cried more and more sadly. Others practiced martial arts for self-defense. Chu Liuchen only practiced martial arts because of his hobby. He practiced martial arts when he liked it. Even if he had just vomited blood before, he could still practice well and even make himself pass out. , so lucky just because it is a hobby. Concubine Lan even secretly saw this scene once, and she felt heartbroken.

"His little princess is very good...he likes her very much...luckily he has her." Concubine Lan said while crying. She was very lucky that Chu Liuchen could marry such a woman who cheered him up, otherwise he would still give up on himself. , I really don’t know how long this life can last, but for this, Concubine Lan is only grateful to Shao Wanru, very grateful.

Without Shao Wanru, there would be no Chu Liuchen now. She knew this very well.

"Okay, don't cry. It will hurt your body. Your health is not good to begin with!" the emperor said.

Concubine Lan has been living in seclusion for so many years. Although no one has disturbed her, her mood has been depressed. The emperor said again: "I want you to accompany me to see this great river and mountains in the future. You can't really hurt your body." Everything I promised you before will come true."

"Really?" Concubine Lan raised her tearful eyes.

"Of course it's true!" the emperor said softly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!" A eunuch came in, lowering his head and not daring to look further.

What is the queen doing here at this time? Concubine Lan stopped crying.
